  • Renewed Strength

    I just found your show. You have renewed my strength in this fight for my 3rd grader! You have helped me realize the public school’s limitations. I got the specialist she needs to be properly diagnosed who wrote her a 504 until all the testing is completed. And unfortunately you have helped me realize I have to pay $$$ for the education she deserves which comes with sacrifices.

  • Reading is fundamental

    This is very meaningful in the approach that is being taken. I particularly enjoyed the approach being suggested about listening to an audio book while reading the hard cover book at the same time. Reading is so necessary to all of life’s endeavors that having the capability to read and understand becomes a basic tool for a successful life.
